Where did you learn how to sell?

Hi guys,

I'm as good as ready with my new business, https://www.reviewtycoon.com - A SaaS that will let you create and operate reviewsites very easily.

Last Friday I was at a convention to talk to some people from my industry and I had to do my first sales pitches. Although I don't mind talking to people and most of the people I talked to were already acquaintances, I found it difficult to sell my product to them.

I think I need to get better at this and need some books/blogs to learn more. Where did you learn how to sell?

    The link has nothing to do with the title, so I'm flagging.

    The topic isn't a bad one to talk about and might be worth a dedicated thread, though.

      My apologies, I didn't know you could only connect your project to a topic if it was directly connected to the subject. I've disconnected my product.

        It's more an issue of misleading titles. It's really frustrating to click through one to find that it was a sales pitch masquerading as a question.

        If it were titled something like "How should I pitch my review site builder?" it would have been totally congruent.

          In hindsight you're absolutely right. It was not my intentions to make a clickbait title to promote my site. Mentioning it was more to let people know what kind of sales I was doing (low touch sales to experienced business owners).

          Let me make a new topic but I still need to learn how to sell :)
